How do 0% credit cards work?

Mostly, the headline-grabbing credit cards are those that offer either a long 0% deal on balance transfers or purchases. Whilst these cards are great, if you need to transfer a balance and spend on a credit card you’re left with the options of using two different credit cards, or paying some interest on your purchase or transferred balance.

The 0% credit cards shown in this section offer 0% deals on both purchases and balance transfers. This means that you wouldn’t pay interest on new spending you make on the card, or any balance you transfer, for a set period.

Is a 0% credit card right for you?

Combined 0% credit cards might be suitable for you if you need to both transfer a balance and make purchases using your card.

If you only need to transfer a balance, you may find that a standalone 0% balance transfer credit card offers a longer 0% period than can be found on a combined card. Likewise, if you have no existing credit card debt and want a credit card just for spending on, a 0% purchase credit card might be more suitable.

If you pay off your balance in full every month then the 0% period will not be of interest to you. That’s because most cards give you a grace period of up to two months before they charge interest on purchases. So if this is how you manage your credit card, consider a card that will give you something back like a rewards or cashback credit card.
